Vision, strength. speed, shiftiness - none of them stand out when you watch him. I still comfortably prefer Jacobs and Henderson. I think he is really good with change of direction and in the passing game, two things that are pretty important in this scheme. I think he is my favorite back for the draft stock you could get him at. Jacobs is better but I'd rather not use a 1st on a RB if it can be helped. Ideally the Eagles could trade back a little and grab Sanders but I'd be more than comfortable with Sanders at 57. I like Henderson too, but I think Sanders could potentially be a lead back and more of a #1 RB eventually. Henderson I think is a really good committee back but he would need a power guy with him. Unless the Eagles find their way into a 3rd, they are kind of in no man's land with Henderson. 2nd is too early and he'll be gone before the Eagles' pick in the 4th.

I don't think he goes in the 1st anymore. 4.65ish 40 and really bad broad jump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalamania Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 The more I look into potential options at 25 the more I can us taking Dalton Risner. Just seems like he fits the mold of what we're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiltman Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/report-eagles-really-like-alabama-rb-josh-jacobs/ Mosher: "I've been hearing that...don't be shocked if the Eagles take a running back in the first round. They really like Josh Jacobs." Caplan: "I talked to Greg Cosell from NFL Films. He likes (Jacobs) a lot. An offensive coordinator who I ran into at the combine said Jacobs is his top graded back in the draft. He's a three-down back. Mosher: "I think we need to adjust our philosophy. The people that said Howie Roseman would never take a running back in the first round. Do remember, two years ago...if Christian McCaffery was there at No. 14, he would have been an Eagle."

I think a lot of this was reported prior to his pro day. Had he done well or even had an average pro day I would believe this but he really hurt himself yesterday.

If they like him on film, I don't think they'd let that sway them heavily. Maybe the difference is they'd feel more confident trading back and still land him, but the lack of activity in FA for RB tells me that they are planning to take one high.

He would've ranked towards the bottom in just about every category if he had competed at the combine, which I think is just a bit concerning when you're talking about a potential first round pick. I agree they're going to take someone high but I think they're going to hope Jacobs falls to them in the second, if not they're going to take Sanders, Weber or Hill (IMO).

To me it would make sense to gamble that he falls to the second and if not grab Sanders or at least feeling good about trading back to the early 2nd, but if they like him as much as reported then I don't think it is out of the question for them to just grab their guy.

Hockey5djh Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 So.....Today is a sad day for me. I realized one of my favorite (and most accurate) draft prospect websites is no longer running for prospects. Draftscout.com (commonly seen as 'The Sports Xchange). What are some of your favorite websites that has everything in one place (Measurements, combine/proday numbers, range in the draft where they'll probably fall, positional rankings, news, etc.) as I need to find a new one for this year.
